Holy Shit Matt! That's awesome. All of a sudden I feel so inadequate...

Just seeing more than 1 item in the box was enough to make me say "They gave me WAY too much"...

Just wait. I went a little overboard, but I was in the giving mood (plus I had accumulated lots of stuff that I hadn't used and probably never would....so it was a great excuse to unload it onto someone else. heh).

Damn, I was nowhere near as fancy as all that.

I feel inadequate, but I gave as much as I could with my limited budget this month. Holidays and heading home is always really expensive... I can't wait to see what I got. And when my recipient posts pictures...

MS Paint works. That's what I used (it was the Paint that comes with Windows 7, though, which has a few more/improved features than the MS Paint from XP era).

My SS get major karma for his research. When I opened the package, there was a wrapped item. On it was a note that said, open first, then read note.

The contents of the package:

The note:

Again, major props SS for your research. I promptly watched the movie (which I hadn't seen in AGES), and told 50 or so people it seems about how cool of a gift I got.

 

[PlasmaBomb]

Just received a card from my SS as well as the present a while back -

On to the cool pressies!

That should keep me entertained for a while

My SS was also kind enough to give me a book -

Thanks SS

My SS went way overboard, and by way overboard I mean that his/her gifts came in three decent sized boxes. I managed to hold my curiosity at bay and didn't open them until today. I have to say thank you very much SS. Pictures will be coming later today or tomorrow, I accidentally left my digicam at my parents last night but I'm going by today of course.

Edit As promised here are the pictures of what my SS sent to me

2 cardslot exhaust fans
Arctic Silver 5 (two tubes)
Enough case fans to redo my current case fan setup, twice
Two sets of Cobra GMRS walkie talkies (one set is longer range and came with rechargeable batteries & a desktop charger)
External USB 2.0 hub
Mini optical mouse
Multiple mouse pads (including one really cool one that has LED edge lighting)
Wireless N USB network adapter
Acronis True Image 2008
Norton AntiVirus 2010
Lasonic MP3 player
Laser level
NiMH batteries and quick charger (my digicam & other high drain devices thank you as well for this one)
